New Voter ID Information 

During the summer of 2011, a new Voter ID Bill was signed into law for the state of Wisconsin. It impacts the voting process for students and what a student will need to present to the polls on Election Day.  Please use the following information to help you prepare for the polls this year.

To Register to Vote

In Wisconsin, you can register to vote in the following three ways.

·         In person, at your local polling place, on Election Day.

·         In person, at your local municipal clerk’s office, before Election Day

·         By mail, with your local municipal clerk’s office.

What documents do I need to vote?

You need proof of identification and a document that verifies your local address. 

Examples of Proof of Identification:  Wisconsin Driver’s License or Wisconsin State ID Card, current U.S. Passport or U.S. Military ID.  If another acceptable proof of identification is unavailable or inconvenient to obtain, you may use a Voter ID Compliant Student ID card.  NOTE:  this is not the same as your TitanCard.  TitanCards are not considered an acceptable or compliant form of ID for voting. 

Titan Central in Reeve Memorial Union can make a Voter ID Compliant Student ID card for you.  The first card is free; the replacement cost is $2.

Examples of documents verifying your local address:  If your WI driver’s license has your current local address on it that is all you need to vote.

If it doesn’t have your local address on it (or you don’t have a WI driver’s license), you can bring a utility bill that has your local address on it.  If you live on-campus or don’t have a utility bill, go to TitanWeb and print off a Voter ID Enrollment Verification Form.  Make sure your local address is correct before you print it.  .  This Voter ID Enrollment Verification qualifies as proof of residence to allow you to register to vote in the district or ward that includes that address. 

You may obtain an Voter ID Enrollment Verification Form by logging into TitanWeb and following these instructions. Click Here!

The problem: Student/Community Divide 

College aged adults are increasingly observed to be uninterested in or alienated from active involvement in civic life. This level of "civic engagement" is a firm predictor of future organizational, community and electoral participation later in life, all cornerstones of our American democracy.

The solution: Increase Civic Engagement 

Through creative and challenging service learning projects and interdisciplinary approaches to the involvement in democratic processes and current events, the University can encourage students to engage their communities in meaningful ways that bring about the betterment of all.  It is the mission of the American Democracy Project and the Americorps Vista program to help bring this solution to UW Oshkosh.
